Bullying Links and Resources

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
-Deuteronomy 31:6

Editors’ Note
At Building Faith we often compile and curate resources from around the web that we think are useful. Such is the case with the following links and resources on bullying. Many of the links below were first posted by Sharon Ely Pearson. We’ve updated and added to the list. Please let us know if you have additional items. We are especially interested in anti-bullying resources from a Christian perspective.
